Re: [PATCH 1/6 (v2)] revision caching documentation: man page and technical discussion

Wow, thank you very much for your commentary!

Unfortunately I don't have a stable internet connection this week
(although I can get on at minimum once a day), but I'll rework the
docs today and upload a new patch for them tomorrow or the next day.
I'll also fix the file permissions ;-)

As you said, I'll answer most of your questions in the revised docs,
but I have one question about the time field size.  git uses unsigned
long internally for its commit date, so it'd be limited by the 32bits
a long is on 32bit archs.  So, wouldn't the commit times effectively
be a uin32_t?  I mean if not I can change it; I just figured I'd save
some space.

Other than that there shouldn't be an overflow problem, unless
someone's merging over 63 branches in one go.  Maybe I'll expand that
a bit just in case though...

Thanks again,
 - Nick
